Woods' lawyer Richard Auger told Judge Patrick Smith that his client intends on utilizing all channels to avoid being sent to the U.S. to face major drug-related charges.'

Woods and 14 others have been charged in connection with allegedly moving 10,000 kilograms of marijuana from Canada via Akwesasne to the U.S.

Auger did not even bother to counter the case presented for Woods' extradition from Crown attorney Jacqueline Palumbo.

Auger said if the judge ruled against Woods, he would appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal and also make a submission to the federal minister of justice.

Smith had not rendered a decision yet, but the judge indicated that he wasn't prepared to orally make a verdict at that moment.

After a short recess, Smith informed Auger and Palumbo he would present a written decision in Ottawa court on May 23.

If Smith rules for extradition, the minister has to rule on it within 90 days.

Woods would have 30 days from May 23 to appeal or make a submission to the minister. If he does, the ministerial deadline is 150 days.

Palumbo outlined information surrounding Woods' smuggling operation that she said would satisfy requirements for extradition.

Palumbo needed to make a sufficient enough case that would allow for a likely conviction in Canadian court and under the criminal code. She also had to ensure that a specific Canadian resident, in this case Woods, was indeed the same person wanted by U.S. authorities.
